The GC should take a minimum of 12 months to complete. The new BC belt is white with a navy blue stripe running through its center. Students thatВ complete the Gracie Combatives course online will earn a вЂњGracie CombativesвЂќ belt as a symbol of their self-defense proficiency. That is why the new GU system will have a few changes.

Rickson says that t he perfect blue belt not only knows how to defend themselves in a street fight situation but also has a detailed enough knowledge based to grapple proficiently with other trained people. While Rickson praised that GC exists to teach people self-defence, he criticises the award of a blue belt, purely on self-defence. This is where Gracie Combatives comes in. Rener also pipes up and says that even his Torrance Gracie Academy has focused away from self-defence due to the rapid growth of the sport and inclusion of group classes to train people in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu and not the self-defence aspect of it. The core classes taught people methods of self-defence against an untrained opponent, instead of modern jiu-jitsu schools where people are taughtВ to fight trained opponents.

Originally the Rio-de-Janeiro Gracie Academy focused on one-to-one private training session, with no group classes.

With the newly formed JJGF, Rickson is concerned about the вЂdilution of jiu-jitsuвЂ™ and wants to sport to get back to itвЂ™s roots. Reported by BJJ Eastern Europe, Rickson, Rener and Ryron have been in talks for a long time figuring out how to re-invent their much-criticised platform. However, there are some big changes on the way. So since the last time we updated this post, we have seen Pedro Sauer jump on board the good ship Gracie University and new we have Rickson climbing aboard.
